Definitions

  • Figures 2A, 2B and 2C are side, front, and end views, respectively, of a closure assembly in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the closure assembly 60 depicted in Figures 4A to 4C includes a cap 32, a lid 34 and an integral interconnecting strap 44.
  • the cap 32 includes internal features such as threads, detents, annular ribs or ridges for engaging a correspondingly configured neck of a container (not shown).
  • the peripheral surface of the cap 32 is shown with a knurled edge 76.
  • the lid 34 is configured to releasably and sealingly engage the cap 32 to preclude fluid flow through the dispensing outlet 62 when the lid is in a closed position.
  • the lid 34 is provided with an annular bead that fastens beneath lip 75 and onto shoulder 74 for a liquid tight fit of the lid.
  • the lid 34 is provided with an integral tab 36.
  • the contact area 38 of the tab 36 is spaced from the longitudinal axis LA of the dispensing outlet 62 by a distance that is at least substantially equal to one half the cap diameter (or equal to the cap radius).
  • the contact area of the tab 36 has a radial dimension of approximately 1 to 1.5x the radial dimension of the cap.
  • the contact area 38 of the tab 36 is radially intermediate the periphery of the cap 32 and a periphery of the container.
  • the contact area 38 is spaced from the longitudinal axis LA to allow the application of force on the tab 36 at approximately the radius of the cap 32.
  • the tab 36 is sized to locate at least a portion of the contact area 38 beyond the radius of the cap 32 yet within the footprint of the container.
